review 1: Remember Me Like This chronicles a family as they adjust to the return of their kidnapped son. Justin was kidnapped when he was 11 or so and remained captive for four years. We are introduced to the family and how they are disintegrating b/c of Justin's disappearance, but much more of the book is devoted to how they must adapt after his return, and how they deal with the many repercussions. A good book, but not great.
review 2: This was brilliantly written and the first half was totally engrossing - loved it. The characters, the emotion, the realism were all just spot on. Then the second half although equally well written just dived. Although I'm sure a very accurate accounting of the journey and emotions a family placed in this situation would go through it... more just didn't captivate. It became repetitive and after the first half you just wanted more. Disappointing but only because the start was so fabulous. Would love to read one of his other novels. less
